Forever Stars was setup following the stillbirth of Emily Daniels on December 19th 2013. Although Emily was stillborn, Michelle and Richard had to go back on to the labour ward where the surrounded by the sounds of child birth, families celebrating and of course the sound of healthy babies.

Michelle and Richard decided that they would fundraise in the name of their daughter to facilitate the building and equipping of bereavement suites and other support material and facilities of future bereaved parents in and around the East Midlands.

Our son Harrison was stillborn in August 2016 and we have been so fortunate to be supported by our friends and family. Forever Stars has given us an extended family and although it’s a club you really don’t want to be part of, they have helped us survive. The charity goes from strength to strength and this hike is not only about raising funds but is also about raising awareness and showing it is possible to move forward following such tragedy.
